The new corona pandemic is not over yet, and the United States and the West are trying to sprint in this last step to restore the stigma of “the country defeated by the epidemic”. It is impossible to change the facts, but we can use tricks to divert international attention.

The latest theory on defeating the epidemic in China comes from the Chinese BBC website Due to the fact that the Ministry of National Medical Insurance stated that because the manufacturer Pfizer had a high price for Paxlovid, it failed to be included in China’s insurance catalog medical through discussion. So the BBC ran a three-stage narrative project: 1. The peak population migration during the Spring Festival travel season was more than 2 billion people. Due to the severity of the epidemic, Paxlovid is in high demand. is a drug that saves the lives of many people. Even Chinese people who are not infected want to stock up on it for peace of mind The drug is sold at a high price on the black market. Back Chinese media reports, a box has already been sold for tens of thousands of yuan.” According to the logic above, the third point is that the country will not buy Paxlovid “based on the people.” China has “wasted ammunition” in the past three years and spent all its money on “dynamic warfare” which Westerners strongly believe is ineffective.
The BBC also borrowed the words of an unknown netizen to unilaterally judge China’s failure to stop the epidemic. Netizen “JAK_R” said: “Making nucleic acid has wasted all the money in the medical insurance. Now I really need to buy life-saving medicine. Well, I have no money.” BBC articles have always been good at rhythm, especially reporting on current events in China. But this rhythm seems out of tune, and the bad singing is over the top.
First look at the “king of software” Gates warned, as a world philanthropist, in a TED speech in 2015: “If any event kills more than 10 million people in the next few decades, it is likely to be a virus very infectious, not war.” Gates explained, “We spend a lot of money on nuclear deterrents, but we actually spend very little money on systems to contain epidemics, which could be the reason we have today. Part of the reason for the challenges. ” reminded, “We are not yet ready for the next epidemic.” This is the United States, which has a strong heart and technology, and should not have such a failure in the face of the new crown.
The United States is helpless in the face of the new crown epidemic. On October 8, 2020, “The New York Times” published an article titled “I feel sorry for the Americans.” The author asked: “How did such a superpower allow itself to be overthrown by the virus?” The United States has the highest medical expenditure in the world, and the population of the United States is (330 million) accounting for 4% of the world (7.8 billion), but the 1.1 million deaths were from the crown new accounts for 15% of the 6.73 million deaths in the world. Where is the problem?
There have always been contradictions that cannot be resolved in the medical security system in the United States. The American reporter Roberts (Paul Roberts) talked about the medical situation in the United States in his book The Impulse Society (The Impulse Society) in 2014. In 2014, the health care expenditure of the United States accounted for 18% of GDP, by reaching as high as 3 trillion US dollars, ranking behind Germany’s GDP and surpassing France, the United Kingdom, Russia and Brazil.
The problem is that among the $3 trillion, US hospitals have the highest income, more than 30%, doctors’ fees account for 20%, and technology and medicine are also profitable. Under the free market mechanism, enterprises, professional doctors and scientific and technological teams form a huge interest group. Facing high medical costs, 5,000 people in the United States cannot afford basic medical insurance. Perhaps, this has caused the United States to “die a lot.”
American medical technology is very high, as is pharmaceutical manufacturing. I assume that Paxlovid is better than domestically produced drugs, and its effectiveness is like a “life saving drug” I also assume that Westerners maintain global harmony and are concerned about the epidemic situation in China, but the thing most reasonable is that the United States keeps the “life-saving drug” for its own use. At the same time, the Western media Pay more attention to the omissions of the American medical system, your conscience should be used here.
In my opinion, if there are priorities, save the United States first. Don’t think China’s anti-epidemic propaganda campaign is on the defensive, and few serious counterattacks you do as a little girl in China.
